masturbate can cause hairloss

[CouldBeWorse]

masturbate, shamasterbate

hmmm...

ok, now im worried.

my hair started to thin slightly when i graduated from college at 22.

do you think theres a connection between thinning hair and graduating from college??!?!?!

we've got to inform the youngin's to make them stop graduating from college.

Damn it, it's all very clear to me now. This has made me think about all the water I drank over the years. I started losing my hair at age 20 or so...right during a period when I drank tons of it in various forms.

Wait, in my mid 20s I started to grow more hair...but I was drinking water then, too. Maybe the water, combined with some little pills, caused me to grow hair. Then I stopped taking the pills but foolishly didn't stop drinking water, and I lost what I'd gained. Drats!

Now I'm positive that water is the source of all problems. Recommend that everyone avoid it ASAP, unless you're taking the little pills...in which case you should punch the clown daily just to make sure the Dermatch isn't accelerating your sebum production.

omigah hairwegoagain...

I DRINK WATER TOO!

jesus, then there's food....I EAT FOOD!

(ok, done being a smartass now)

but think about it...if masturbation caused baldness, there wouldnt be a man on this planet with hair.

additionally, may i refer you to a quote from the peter seller's classic "Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb"?

General "Buck" Turgidson: General Ripper called Strategic Air Command headquarters shortly after he issued the go code. I have a phone transcript of that conversation if you'd like me to to read it.
President Merkin Muffley: Read it!
General "Buck" Turgidson: Ahem... The Duty Officer asked General Ripper to confirm the fact that he *had* issued the go code, and he said, uh, "Yes gentlemen, they are on their way in, and nobody can bring them back. For the sake of our country, and our way of life, I suggest you get the rest of SAC in after them. Otherwise, we will be totally destroyed by Red retaliation. Uh, my boys will give you the best kind of start, 1400 megatons worth, and you sure as hell won't stop them now, uhuh. Uh, so let's get going, there's no other choice. God willing, we will prevail, in peace and freedom from fear, and in true health, through the purity and essence of our natural... fluids. God bless you all" and he hung up.
[beat]
General "Buck" Turgidson: Uh, we're, still trying to figure out the meaning of that last phrase, sir.
President Merkin Muffley: There's nothing to figure out, General Turgidson. This man is obviously a psychotic!

 

[scientist]

i doubt it has this effect on everyone, maybe 2-3% of males predisposed for male pattern baldness

I did an internet search and found this bit of information:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldness

There are many misconceptions about what can help prevent hairloss, one of these being that frequent ejaculation may have an influence on male pattern baldness. While ejaculation significantly lowers levels of relaxin (a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor) in a male's body and does cause testosterone levels to temporarily elevate the claim that frequent ejaculations can cause baldness is often viewed with skepticism. Higher testosterone levels may correlate with both hairloss and increased sex drive in predisposed individuals.

masturbation causes an increase of serum DHT and other hormones.
masturbation lowers body's zinc levlels.
masturbation lowers relaxin levels - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_pattern_baldness


This is what I personally think
Those who are predisposed to the curse (male pattern baldness) will lose hair faster if they masturbate 3-4 times a day, out of compulsiveness. I never had the desire to jerk off 3-4 times a day, I just never had anything better to do, I always was a loner.
I been jerking off 3-4 times a day since I was 11 years old, and I am the only person in my extended family to have been thinning from the age of 15. This is no coincidence.

I am not saying that excessive masturbation will cause hairloss, what I am stating is that those who are predisposed to male pattern baldness will lose hair faster, because of the temporary increased DHT in the system.

Damn... I'm so screwed.

Damn ,I should stop jerking off so much :lol: :lol:

Noorur, the observations (website) cited here, http://joe.endocrinology-journals.org/cgi/content/abstract/70/3/439, doesn't have any conclusions drawn from it. I mean, there are no specific numbers, or any conclusive statements for that matter.

 

[IDOASIS]

Aplunk1,
Where did you buy the Nioxin Shampoo,
does it contain SLS??

 

[Aplunk1]

At a local salon. And yes it does, although I doubt SLS will have any effect on hairloss.

Jason Thin to Thick Shampoo and conditioner are SLS free.

I'm actually in the middle of testing this theory and I'm actually seeing some positive results.

Its been twenty four days since I started abstaining from any form of sexual activity and I am now only losing around 3-6 hairs a day including showers. This is a sharp contrast from the hair loss I was experiencing when I was masturbating excessively(about 2-3 times a day). I would say that at that time I was losing about 25 hairs a day.

I must emphasize that the reduction in hair loss for me is probably because I stopped the constant masturbation a problem that, I assume, not very many people have. So my experience most likely, doesn't apply to too many people. But because of my personal experience, I now strongly believe that there is a definite correlation between the two.

I believe that excessive masturbation is the main culprit because doing it keeps the body at such a constant high level of testesterone that it probably has a significant affect on the hormone levels and causes increased hair loss. I wouldn't have believed this until I went through this abstaining period.

 

[Siberian]

Maybe this actually is why Propecia works?

It just kills everyone's libido, they stop masturbating, and viola! Regrowth!

 

[Aplunk1]

Haha, there it is, in a nutshell!

[Aplunk1]

Ooops,
Nevermind. There goes your theory down the drain, Siberian.

Living proof.

You'll never masturbate again.

there is one tiny way this might have some effect on the body. studies done at USYD have found that the body during sexual excitement exhibits similar spikes of insulin activity during and after sexual activity as when the body is deprived of sleep. you'd assume this is to compensate for the physical activity that the body thinks is going on during sex. masturbation obviously costs little energy and therefore could result in an overabundance of glucose in the bloodstream. the link between hairloss and insulin is somewhat documented;

so i guess masturbate, but do some pushups afterward
